I walked into the Australian Judo Nationals today with the team of Referees and was greeted with.....

"Hi Steve, who is your partner for the Katame No Kata on Monday" by the State President.

"Er... Hi Robert" was my greeting followed by "I don't have one, I haven't competed in a Kata Tournament since Lubo, Guido and I won the State title 2 years ago".

Pres. said "Well you had better find one, because I have entered you and an "un-named partner in the KNK for Monday Morning".

Problem, Lubo has just recovered from a Hernia Operation2 Months ago, We have not trained together for over 18 months, we have not practiced KNK for 2 years.

All other possible partners are Kata Judges or rival competitors.

Should make for an interesting Monday...........................if I can find a Tori to work with.
